Crowded Foyer

Some people can’t handle big crowds, can you? Do you start to feel uncomfortable or claustrophobic when too many people get too close to you? Imagine you go to a school with 1,800 other people and they’re all trying to get to another classroom at the same time as you. This is what happens at least six times a day at Kennedy High School. Every passing time there are hundreds of people trying to get through the foyer at the same time as. A key factor in advoiding this huge traffic jam is to not stop in the middle of the foyer and talk to someone. This is when you hold everyone up behind you and they start to get mad and just push you out of their way.

If you don’t like big crowds, then this shoving in the foyer probably scares you. Kids get so annoyed, usually with underclassmen, when they stop in the middle where everyone is actually trying to get to their class. Some people are so annoyed and don’t want to fight the traffic anymore, so they just keeping walking, they will bump into anymore and they don’t care. So if you want to avoid this, your best option is to use the back stairways if you can, avoid going through the main foyer if possible. If you’re not afraid to get bumped in the hallway or pushed, then you will be fine if you go through the foyer, remember to just keep walking and don’t stop until you get to where you’re going and you’re out of everyone’s way. Typically it’s the smaller kids that don’t like going through the foyer during passing time, because a lot of the kids at this school are fairly big and kind of tower over the little freshman or the eighth graders that come to classes in the mornings. Walking through the foyer isn’t as bad as some people think, you will get used to it the more you walk through there.
